For my photobook spread I used a photo taken earlier this semester of the sunset. The photo wasn’t large enough so I actually copied the layer, made the canvas larger, and moved it over. I then clone stamped and masked out the blemishes that were showing. I just created square boxes and put clipping masks on the photos into the boxes.

i like the sunset background, it really sets the mood of the photos. It also draws attention to the wording in the image.
I liked how simply you explained what you did – it sounds a lot easier that way. And I really like the sunset picture.
Your template looks really nice. I think the picture you chose for the background works well with your layout. I like that you actually labeled the days, I kind of wish I had done that on mine 🙂
Awesome template, it looks amazing. Great job with all of it!
this looks very nice. Beautiful background image!
